So I've seen more articles lately about serious water theft by the illegal marijuana farmers like this one:
https://www.theguardian.com/environm...-american-west
They are stealing from fire hydrants to the point that the fire hydrants are removed all together in many areas.
They are stealing from farmers, sometimes by force or coercion.
They are stealing our water from the aqueducts, rivers, lakes, private wells, homes etc...
In some areas they are leaving very little left for the fish and wildlife.
Let's not even get into the violence surrounding these illegal grows, Netflix has a documentary Murder Mountain

What about the amount or pollution and degradation to the environment afterwards,
why does the environmentalist give this industry a pass?
Living in California where it has been legal recreationally for awhile and even when it was not there are generations of people I know that are moderate to heavy users and treat it more as a lifestyle, I can say that I'm not a fan of it personally. I don't care if others use it in moderation as long as myself or my family do not have exposure to it, unfortunately even my neighborhood or even my son's school smells like a damn grateful dead concert at 7:45 am sometimes
The amount of people smoking and driving is out of control. I have no solution, I just don't like the direction that this is all heading...
